Termite Control & Treatment
Protect your home from costly structural damage. We connect you with local experts for thorough termite inspections, effective treatments, and preventative solutions.
Protect Your Home's Foundation from Silent Destroyers
Termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage to homes across the United States each year. Because they work silently from within your walls, an infestation can go unnoticed until significant damage is already done. Securing professional termite inspection and treatment is one of the most important investments you can make in your home's health and value. LocalXR connects you with certified specialists who can identify, eliminate, and prevent termite infestations.
Signs of a Termite Infestation
Be aware of these key warning signs. If you see any of them, call for a professional inspection immediately.
Mud Tubes
Pencil-sized tubes on foundation walls, in crawlspaces, or on siding are highways for subterranean termites.
Discarded Wings
After swarming, termites shed their wings. Finding piles of them near windows or doors is a major red flag.
Hollow or Damaged Wood
Wood that sounds hollow when tapped, or crumbles easily, may have been damaged from the inside out.
Peeling Paint or Frass
Bubbling or peeling paint can sometimes indicate moisture from termite activity. Frass (termite droppings) looks like small pellets.
When to Call a Professional
For safety and to prevent costly damage, most water heater issues require a licensed plumber. Call immediately if you suspect a gas leak (smell of rotten eggs). Otherwise, schedule a service for any of the signs listed above, especially for leaks or if you are not comfortable performing maintenance yourself.
